A
man identified as Bishop Eze Orieke is currently in trouble for using fake
images to spread rumours of President Muhammadu Buhari’s death.
The
Special Assistant to the President on Prosecution, Mr. Okoi Obono-Obla, has
written to DSS and the Nigeria Police seeking the probe of an alleged peddler
of false claim of the death of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Obono-Obla
informed the heads of the security agencies in his petitions that one Bishop
Eze Orieke made the false claim with purported documents from the London Bridge
Hospital (Regional Medical Laboratory) to back it on the wall of a Facebook
group called Ohafia Political Forum.
The
letters read in part, “The said documents are attached herewith for your
attention and consideration.
“It
is a notorious fact and incontrovertible proof that his excellency, Muhammadu
Buhari is not dead but very much alive and kicking.”
He
added that the post on Facebook and the documents attached to it by the said
Orieke “are fake and calculated to cause panic, disaffection and undermine
national security.”
Copies
of the documents, which were allegedly attached to the Facebook post and which
Obono-Obla forwarded with his petitions to the security agencies, included a
purported death certificate issued by the National Population Commission
indicating that Buhari died of cardiac arrest in Abuja on September 19, 2017.
“It
is ill-motivated, distasteful and made in extreme bad faith,” Obono-Obla said
of the documents in his petitions.
